Why does Collingwood keep appearing with his name struck through? He's never going to play for England again so could be left off the list.

Now Ramps has gone, other than Rob Key (11), are there any other specialist batsmen knocking around county cricket (other than Tresco who unfortunately retired through illness) who have scored a test hundred for England?

Can't see any. There's a dearth of ready made batting replacements in the shires - blokes who have half a dozen or more Test hundreds under their belt and ripe to be recalled (as with Amiss, J.Edrich, Boycott etc).

Thanks for the reminder. Too lazy to check back!

Ed Joyce.
Geraint Jones.

You say specialist batsmen but Prior is in the current list. And Jones was selected for his batting.

I didn't want to be showing any favouritism. I think batting is an important part of his job and he needs to be able to score centuries. He's also batted at 6 in some tests ahead of Patel and some people (well Aggers mainly) want us to go in with 5 bowlers which would put him at 6. I wouldn't dream of dropping him though.

I tried to do pitchforks for Trott, but it would only let me do 4 pictures.
